I don't care what's it's called either, however in the interest of making sure I'm futzing with the right thing I just wanted to be on the same page.

Look at the choke fast idle, it has the teeth that the screw at the top of the throttle lever touches when the choke is on. YOU WILL MAKE IT IDLE if you pull the throttle lever out just enough to clear the little teeth as you rotate the choke plate lever (it will be in the push direction).
OK, did that, and..........

It ran very nicely. In fact, it ran awesome.
Sweet Baby Jesus, it ran awesome.
It even cut out and quit when I removed the wire from the wire from the solenoid. Just like you said it should.
Bravo.

Though it doesn't appear to be "diagonally oriented," I'm pretty sure you mean the pilot jet that's #34 in the diagram (again, just making sure we're on the same page).......
So now I'm going to take the carb off and re-clean it, because evidently I didn't do it right the first time.

Yessir, you are indeed correct. Fun, confusing and a little frustrating, but fun all the same.
I'll let you know what happens when I get the carb back on.........
Cheers,
